Wow! Every day is a school day! Did you know that Wow! Every day is a school day! Did you know that menstruation age (Menarche) starting at age 12 or older is associated with a 9% increased chance of living to 90, compared to starting earlier and women who experience menopause (naturally or surgically) at age 50 or older have an roughly 20% higher chance of living to age 90, compared to those who reach menopause before age 40? #fyp #research #study #longevity #period menopause motherhood studies did you know research

Researchers studied 500 elderly people between the ages of 70 and 103 and found those caring for grandchildren outlived those who didn’t. Let your folks know this next time you need some help!

Thinking about Natalie Portman’s pregnancy news at Thinking about Natalie Portman’s pregnancy news at 44, I uncovered some research: did you know birth to women over 50 in England and Wales rose by 15% between 2019-2021? The average age of first birth in OECD countries has risen significantly too with many now having children in their 30s and 40s, with more women over 40 giving birth than those under 20. This in part due to medical advancements and increased social stability with risks and benefits. I had my third child, a daughter, naturally at almost 41.

Did you know that in 2023, there was a record number of 408 babies born to women aged 45 and over in Ireland, an 80.5% increase from 2013? In England, 2018 saw a record number of births to women over 45, with 2,366.
